crescentfresh im really happy you liked everything! That picture, i was so worried wouldnt make it to you in one piece but im really glad it did! It was also very hard to get that catnip bird in the bag. it was stolen twice while packing. i was not impressed, but was amused haha. its hard to have anything catnip when you have as many cats as i do.

anyhoo finally i am able to load the pictures of the things that you sent to me. hold onto your socks i got some neato stuff!

all the stuffs together in my kitchen.

nice printed cards she sent. i love the paper you used! its really natural feeling.

felt birdies to do whatever i wish with. i might make them into christmas ornaments for my little tree that i put in my room. they arent breakable which is good so my kitties cant ruin it.

the best part is the neat scarf. its a lovely doodle of a bird on a sewn on branch. its really warm actually. and the fabric goes with my coat nicely since i have a grey hoodie on my black blazer. its great!

Thanks so much again! i might not end up makin those felt birds into anything. one of them just walked down the hall.....in a mouth.....

Sorry for the delay, everyone. Here are the wonderful, wonderful things that I received from cupcakesorbet. Everything suits me perfectly and I couldn't be more pleased. This is the best swap package that I have ever received!

How amazing is this embroidered owl wall hanging? I just can't tell you how much I love it! I should've saved the best for last in this post, but I'm too excited to share it with everyone!

I squealed when I saw these coasters! Love, love, love.

I am in love with this adorable ornament. It is hanging on my Christmas tree right now, but I will find a year-round spot for it once the holidays are over. (Sorry it's a little blurry--I didn't notice when I took the picture.)

Here's a lovely hand-painted pendant. I've already been wearing this.

This is postcard of a painting done by cupcakesorbet's artist mother. This will be going in a prominent place for everyone to see. As you can see, the talent runs in the family!

And here we have a sweet little bird clip. In the background you can see one of the little yellow chickies that she collected over her childhood Easters. Very cute!

Here's the other little Easter chickie. You can also see what's left of the tasty bird egg chocolates. Actually, I took these pictures on Sunday--the candies are all gone now!
